Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Combining a benzodiazepine with alcohol is the greatest risk for overdose as both substances depress the central nervous system and can lead to respiratory depression and even death. Taking the drug with antacids or before meals can affect absorption but does not increase the risk of overdose. Experiencing depression as well as anxiety may indicate a need for benzodiazepine therapy but does not increase the risk of overdose.
